卡上将该项涂黑。）

A

On July 22,2007,Jay Brunkella ,a police officer in the Rogers Park district in Chicago , was shot during a drug arrest and died. Shortly afterwards, fellow officer Ken Knapcik, a 20-year veteran（老警官）of the force, returned home after work to find a note from his 15-year-old daughter on the dining table.

Dad—this poem came directly from my heart. I love you so much! It scares and amazes me that you go out every day and risk everything to provide us with all that we have. I wrote this to express how much I love you and how much lost I’d be without you-Laura. P.S.: Hey, let’s be careful out there.

Titled “The Last Cop”, Laura’s poem was dedicated “To all the cops in the world who have daughters who love them with all their hearts. And especially to my dad.” It was about a police-officer’s daughter who sees on the night time news that her father has been shot. Part of poem: “Daddy, my Daddy, can you hear me cry? Oh, God, I need my Daddy, please don’t let him die.”

Ken Knapcik stood alone as he read the poem. “It took me several minutes,” he said. “I’d get through part of it and have to stop before I could go on. I was weeping. She had never told me she was scared.” He took the poem to work the next day and showed

it to his fellow officers. “I’ve never seen so many grown men cry. Some couldn’t finish it.”

Knapcik keeps Laura’s poem in the pocket of his police jacket. He takes it with him every time he leaves the house for a new shift. “I don’t want to be out there without it.” he said, “I’ll probably carry it with me forever.” 41．Laura wrote the poem ______.

A．in memory of her father who was shot in the drug arrest B．to show her great sorrow in losing her father

C．to show her respect to all the cops who lost their lives D．to tell officer Ken Knapcik how much she loved him 42．All the officers cried because ______.

A．Jay Brunkella was shot and died B．they were greatly touched by the poem

C．the poem was so well written that they kept praising it D．they thought of their dangerous life

43．Knapcik keeps Laura’s poem in his pocket ______.

A．to treasure her daughter’s love and to value his own life B．to keep it from missing

C．because he can’t go out without it D．to remember the death of officer Jay Brunkella 44．What is the text mainly talked about?

A．A poem for a cop . B．An officer’s death.

C．The daughter’s worry about father’s safety. D．The duty of a cop.

B

In the last 500 years ,nothing about people—their clothes ,ideas ,or

languages-has changed as much as what they eat .The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of a cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.

The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine” of 1845-1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America.
